Sarah’s Take: What the Siete Acquisition Says About Our Food Industry

Stay Connected! Instagram: @TheGoodFoodCFOYouTube: @thegoodfoodcfo Join us in The Good Food CFO Community    There were a lot of “hot takes” on the recent PepsiCo acquisition of Siete Foods, a popular brand known for its grain-free tortillas and snacks. In this episode, Sarah offers her nuanced perspective, explores the reactions from various groups, including consumers, industry experts, and other founders, and discusses how the challenges and limitations of the CPG industry, coupled with the influence of investors and advisors create a system that is driving toward complete industry consolidation.    We ask the question, how do we break the consolidation cycle? Explore the idea of rethinking what success looks like for good food businesses, and advocate for a reimagined food industry model that prioritizes financial viability, community impact, and sustainability, rather than national market share. Tune in to hear Sarah’s full take!     This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit thegoodfoodcfo.substack.com
